100 Chapter 100: Stolen before I came

Loki was already triggered by the morning incident when she jumped into his arms ignoring him. Now, she was scared of him. She was hesitant to transfer. But, she didn't mind jumping into his arms.

Loki angrily kicked the chair and walked out of the room leaving a trail of icy cold aura. 

Stella subconsciously moved out of his way as he walked past her. She patted her chest as she peeked at his back.

'What was his problem?'

Suddenly she heard a cheerful voice comment, "Don't mind Loki, he was born that way."

Stella glanced at the cheerful guy who winked at her. 

She thought, 'Loki, was it? It suits him.'

Jinha grinned, "Welcome to Royal Mages"

Stella sheepishly said, "Thank you"

Everyone proceeded to introduce themselves and when it was Hazel's turn to introduce. Hazel closed her mouth when she saw Stella widened her eyes and comment, "You are beautiful"

Startled, Hazel chuckled embarrassedly as she said, "You are beautiful too."

"Do you guys mind if I sit here?"

Ren was the one to answer her, "No problem... Come, take a seat."

Stella grinned widely before nudging the statue Usui to move forward. She looked at what he was watching and saw Hazel who was laughing along with Jinha. Stella retrieved her gaze and looked at Zeke again to find his hands clenched tight.

'Ah!! so that was our female lead!'

She shook her head as she noticed his knuckles turn white and his face stoic. As she sat down, Hak asked her gently, "Are you okay now?"

Stella smiled at him as she said, "Yes, thank you for asking and for everything yesterday. I owe you my life."

Hak scratched his cheek awkwardly as he didn't know how to respond to that. To be honest, Loki was the one who saved her, and yet she didn't realize that.

Thinking about last night, Stella suddenly remembered the cold guy who saved her from the monsters. The gentle smile as he whispered soothing words in her ear and hugged her in his warm embrace.

Stella glanced at everyone in the room and found none similar to her image in her mind.

Zeno noticed her looking around and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"

Stella let out a chuckle as she gazed at her hands and said, "Yes, there was this guy who made me feel safe last night. He protected me while he fought with those vile creatures."

Usui raised his eyebrow when she saw the gentle smile on her face.

"But" Stella looked up and shrugged, "It looks like he isn't here. I would love to meet him."

Zeno cleared his throat as he looked at Ren and Hak who exchanged gazes with him.

"You don't remember him?"

Jinha coughed as he couldn't believe what he was hearing. 'Gentle? Loki?'

He can't imagine Loki to the Loki in her mind. All he could imagine was a demon resurrected from the depths of hell as he went on a rampage in the city.

Hak coughed as he said, "That guy just left a minute ago?"

Stella furrowed her brows as she said, "But wasn't that the cold guy who left?"

Everyone nodded their heads eagerly. Stella looked at them confused before her face cleared as she stood up from her seat, "Loki, that cold guy was the one who saved me?"

Hak and Zeno nodded their heads simultaneously to which they heard her shout, "Shit!"

After that, they saw her scurrying out of the room.

Usui hurriedly got up to follow her when Zelal held him back and said, "Brother, let her go. She can take care of herself in front of Loki."

Usui reluctantly sat back but his eyes kept drifting towards the door. By now, Hazel had already made up her mind regarding Usui. 

Ren bit into an apple as he watched Usui. His eyes shifted to the other end where his princess was brushing through the reports. He didn't know why but the moment Usui entered, he didn't even try to talk with his princess.

All he did was add his thoughts, respond to their questions, and call her 'President.' Ren glanced at Jinha and gestured him with his eyes asking what's up with them.

Jinha shrugged saying he didn't know. He turned to Usui who was gazing outside the window and pursed his lips. That guy had reverted to his cold face. He was only laughing when Stella was with him.

Pausing on his thought, he glanced at Hazel who was still going over the papers. He rolled his eyes as he understood what she was doing. She was still on the same page when she had started reading. Not even once did he see her turn the page.

Sighing to himself, he gestured Ren to ask him. Ren knitted his brows as he shook his head but then, he saw Usui get up and say, "I think I should go after her."

Hazel pursed her lips as she clutched the paper tightly. Before he left, Ren commented, "I thought you said you transferred here because of someone. But, now your actions don't show that. Why did you come here when you had someone else in your heart?"

A pin-drop silence fell inside the hall as Usui paused in his steps. He slowly glanced at Hazel who was glaring at Ren.

Jinha mentally slapped himself. 'Why did I tell this guy who spoke whatever he had in his mind? He just made it worse'

He looked over at Usui and right on point he saw a smile form on his face but the smile never reached his eyes. 

He slowly said as he looked at Hazel, "Yeah... It was my fault, I should have been clear from the start. I did come here because of someone."

Hazel shifted her eyes to his beautiful golden eyes. She pursed her lips when she saw the coldness oozing out from his eyes.

"But, then I realized that I never did have a heart."

"It was stolen from me before I came here."
